Basic Examples (2) 

Search for Mersenne primes in the range 1 to 1200:

In[1]:=

Out[1]=

Search for Mersenne primes with no upper limit, until aborted:

In[2]:=

Out[2]=

Scope (2) 

The "Results" opener in the temporary progress display allows one to see the results as they are found:

In[3]:=

Out[3]=

When aborting a computation with the stop button, the number of evaluations that are still running is displayed:

In[4]:=

Out[4]=

Aborting with Evalutation ▶ AbortEvaluation terminates more quickly:

In[5]:=

Out[5]=

Options (2) 

DistributedContexts (2) 

By default, definitions in the current context are distributed automatically:

In[6]:=

In[7]:=

Out[7]=

Do not distribute any definitions of functions. In this case, the definition of local is applied only after the results are returned to the local kernel:

In[8]:=

In[9]:=

Out[9]=

Properties and Relations (2) 

IncrementalParallelSelect returns the same result as Select, or its parallelized, non-incremental version:

In[10]:=

Out[10]=

The standard parallel version cannot return partial results when aborted:

In[11]:=

Out[11]=
